I hate Brisbane but there were fair dinkum in the backs and the pricks don't pay them.
Why is Dangerfield allowed to jump on the ball?
Why is dangerfield allowed an extra 5 minutes to dispose the ball?
And why us Hawkins always allowed to push players out of contest's??

Yet another game destroyed by pathetic umpiring.

I often wonder what 3 umpires are looking at, when they just ignore blatant decisions.

The standard of umpiring and the ridiculous rule changes are killing footy

At any stage will the media call out out the terrible standard of umpiring in the AFL. It’s actually affecting results and needs to be looked at.

I haven't been watching this, but I occasionally look at the timeline on the AFL web site, it looks like this:

View attachment 14985

That's a nice natty little blue slider there, oh, wait a minute, did these f*wits think maybe they could employ a graphic designer? The blue slider is covering the green line at the point where it shows you the margin at this point in time. Now, I'm not going to single out the AFL for this, a lot of web design is woeful, but this is woeful. The moron who put this together (I'm not going to say designed this) has covered up the most important part of the graphic. Words cannot describe how stupid this is.

As for the game, sounds like I didn't miss anything. I really do worry about the state of the game. Australian football has appealed to generations of supporters, per capita it must be one of the most popular games going. Why would you mess with it?

Along with this, how about these morons reduce the display of all 9 games in the round so we can see it on 1 screen as they had last season and also get that back arrow on the left working so we can look back at the previous round.

Clarko got a free kick with his payout from Hawthorn.
We need him to invest wisely this year, get employed back in the AFL coaching ranks next season and then unleash. He can afford the fines.

Hawkins man of the match go and get *smile*. Not only does he get away with blatant cheating by pushing illegally in marking contests he also gets free kicks that aren’t there. He got a free in the 3rd quarter for a hold against Adams. There was absolutely nothing in it.

Lynch and Jack would kick 80 each every year if they got the same favourable treat as Cheatkins.

There has to be a forum where these decisions are shown up for how bad they are.
Aren't you meant to learn from mistakes?
So why arent we showing the umpires the blatant bias in that qtr to Geelong over the line?.
It's impossible to watch.

He’s exactly the type of voice required to get the message across.

The AFL's response to the embarrassing standard of umpiring was to muzzle players.

It's no coincidence that commentators never mention how bad they are, and coaches cop fines for referencing the umpires.

They could and should channel that energy into improving the standard instead.

World of Sport used to do it.....even when umpiring was better. I think Footy Show also at times.

Did Atkins get reported for his attack to the head of that Collingwood kid with the peroxide hair??

That was shocking, ball wasn't even in play.

But Marlion gets cited for a Butler premeditated flop
